I must try multimedia/mpv to see if problems happen with older Radeon
GPU too.

Could you please expand on " "opengl" and "opengl-hq" presets don't
work"? Do you mean that the video is incorrectly displayed? Does the
player crash? Does the computer freeze? Just to know if/when I hit a
similar issue.

That's good to know :)

We need:
    o  an update of the kernel-side Radeon driver; the current driver
       comes from Linux 3.8.
    o  (probably) an update to Mesa ports (especially graphics/libGL
       and graphics/dri); right now, this is not possible due to our
       i915 kernel driver (Mesa 9.2+ requires features we don't have).
